What is your favourite thing about the College?

My favourite thing about the College is how unique and welcoming it is. The Humanities program has greatly shaped who I am as a student and as an individual, for which I am grateful. I will always look back on my time at Carleton fondly and with pride.

What will you miss the most?

I will miss the HUMS lecture room in Paterson Hall the most. After attending so many amazing lectures and discussions there, it encapsulates my experience as a Carleton student.

What is your favourite reading/book/text from the program?

It is too difficult to pick only one favourite text from the program, so I have narrowed it down to three: Homer’s The Odyssey for its grand adventure, Dante’s Inferno for its drama and gravitas, and Boccaccio’s The Decameron for its humour and appreciation of the human experience.

What’s next for you?

I will be attending the University of Toronto this fall to begin my studies in the Master of Information program and hope to become a librarian in the future.
